Appendix removed

Hi all!

If you wonder why you haven’t heard from me in a few days it is because I was starting to feel a bit sick during my travels back from Vienna. When I came home I had a quite high fever and my stomach was really hurting so I went to the hospital where they (after about 12 hours of testing) concluded that they needed to remove my appendix (blindtarm in Swedish). This operation was performed yesterday and they let me come home today.

I am feeling well after the circumstances but am a bit weak right now. (There was also some infections spreading out from the appendix so now I am on a anti-biotics cure…)

The good side is of course that you can only take away your appendix once, so now I don’t need to worry about risking having to remove it during my travels in some remote country that might have less well built out medical services than Sweden does… the doctor even told me that astronauts have their appendixes removed “just in case” before space-travelling 😀

I will tell you more about my adventures in Vienna when I am feeling a bit better, this was mainly to give a hint on why I haven’t replied to that many e-mails lately 😛
